o.k. so a number of you guys had intrest in these things if i build em' but i'mnot sure who still is and who isn't. like i was saying i had to make some sort of jig so these things go together the same. well my buddy who was making it was over making it so it took longer than i had hoped for.
anyhow here is a sample in a raw finish, i ran out of time today so i never got around to powdercoating it. the only difference on these will be that they WILL be powdercoated (black) and that the little slit in the pit of the 90deg angle will be filled in and radiused. i realized after the fact that the slit offers no purpose at all and wasn't an actual intention in the original design (it just sorta ended up that way). by filling it in, it will in fact be stronger. also i refined the joints by beveling all the edges so i can get good welds in there and not have to gring them.
from what i have seen of the other two brands out there is that they really kick the shock out. when i was duplicating how they were relocating the shock in designing these i realized their angle was sideloading the shock shaft way too much for my liking. so with that being said i have the most minimal angle possible. i will be using 3/16 material and an overall more sturdy design. so all that leads to an overall better product. i will be pricing these bad boys at $70 plus shipping. i know that isn't really any cheaper than the other ones but when you consider i'm making these by hand and you're getting a way better piece for the same price then it makes sense. i could easily put these out for $100 but i wanna be fair and take care of you guys.
the only other thing is that these will not fit h.d. models.
i have to figure out and set up a paypal acct before i can start taking orders but for whoever wants a set pm me and we will go from there. in the mean time i will be able to get started on them. i will be building 10 sets and then build them to order. so let me know.
thanks guys
